Shop door repairs in South Shields

After a forced entry in South Shields or elsewhere in Tyne and Wear, a door can look fine but still have a bent frame or a damaged lock pocket.

If the fault cannot be diagnosed remotely, a charged diagnostic visit to your South Shields premises finds the cause, and we tell you the price of that visit first. If your South Shields shop door catches the floor or only locks when pushed, the cause is usually a worn pivot, hinge or closer, rather than a failed door.

We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 171 miles away, and send fitting teams across the North East. Travel is included in your written quote, not added afterwards. We cover NE29, NE30, NE33 and the surrounding streets, along with North Shields, Jarrow and Whitley Bay.

What does it cost in South Shields?

Repairing a shop door costs £125 to £595 ex VAT per door, with glass, locks and floor springs priced on their own if they also need work. Photos and a short video of the door moving often let us price it remotely. If they do not, a charged diagnostic visit, from £125 ex VAT, finds the cause, and we give you that cost first.

Door repairs can be arranged before opening or after closing, so a South Shields shop or any other premises in Tyne and Wear can keep customers coming through. Most fitting can be done early, late or at weekends, so a South Shields shop can keep trading through the work.

Common questions

Can you come out to South Shields for a survey?

Yes. New shopfronts and full refurbishments get a free survey in South Shields. Repairs are a charged visit, and we tell you the cost of the visit before anyone comes out.

Will a repair make my door wheelchair accessible?

Not on its own, although a lighter closer and a lower threshold can help. Approved Document M gives a 775 mm clear width for existing buildings in England. The Equality Act 2010 expects reasonable adjustments, so a wider change may be worth discussing.

Why does my shop door keep sticking?

A sticking door usually has worn hinges or pivots, a tired floor spring or a frame that has moved. Seals and thresholds can also catch. Planing or forcing the door rarely cures it, so we find the cause first and repair that.

What do I do if my shop in South Shields is broken into?

Call the police first if a crime is in progress, then call our 24/7 line on 0800 088 6341. We will tell you the arrival time when you call, and board up or reglaze so the premises are secure.
